25th Anniversary Rock and Roll Hall of Fame


To celebrate the anniversary of the rock and roll hall of fame in America, Rolling Stone Magazine commissioned this cover. But couldn't they have picked some people we have heard of.

I mean Mick Jagger what has he ever contributed to Rock music? Then there is St. Bonio. How "IN THE NAME OF LOVE" did he get picked for this particular gig? And of coarse Bruce "E Street"sting, might have been born in the USA, but he is the only Yank there.

Does that say something about American music? Or as I suspect most of the best music is in fact made in The United Kingdom of Great Rock and Roll and Northern Ireland. Has music in America reached an all time low? Next they'll be telling us Bob Dylan's gonna release a Christmas record.

OH HE IS?!!


Britania Rocks all over the world. But on behalf of this small island I would like to apologise for giving the world Status Quo, Simon Cowell and Pierce Morgan and The Spice Girls, The X-factor, Britain and America's got Talent.

But on the other hand BIG UP BRITAIN for:- The Beatles, The Bouncing Bomb the Jump Jet Harrier and imposing our language on all five continents and for the first spoken broadcast from the Lunar Surface. Shakespeare, Sherlock Holmes, Charles Dickens, The Birmingham Six and The Guilford Four. Television, Telephone, and the World Wide Web.

Thankyou America for:-Your Boston Tea Party and Treasonous War of Independence, Doctor Crippen, Mark Chapman, George W. Bush, The Scary Movie films, Jerry Springer. Your greenhouse gas discharges, and starting the most unwanted war in history(congrats on that one George).
